With its VertuoLine release, Nespresso has finally made its coffee loving customers happy by making a machine that makes both Espresso and Coffee. The VertuoLine is a completely redesigned espresso and coffee maker, that even uses different capsules than other Nespresso machines (known as OriginalLine). Nespresso has also released the Evoluo machine, which is another espresso and coffee maker just like the Vertuoline.

Today, we’ll look at the difference between these two machines to help you decide which is the best choice for you.

Features of Nespresso Evoluo:

The easiest way to explain the difference between them is to call the Evoluo the next generation or the upgraded version of the Vertuoline.

Both machines are basically the same. Both use the same brewing technology and both are able to brew espresso as well as coffee.

However, Nespresso took all the complaints about the VertuoLine and fixed them with the Evoluo.

The Evoluois able to brew hotter coffee thanthe VertuoLine.

The Evoluo’s redesign allows it to fit more cup sizes with its foldable and removable drip tray.

Evoluo vs. VertuoPlus, What’s The Difference?

VertuoPlus is another machine in the VertuoLine line of Nespresso machines. It works like Evoluo, using the same technology and brewing the same VertuoLine capsules. But the VertuoPlus has an updated design:

It has a water tank that swivel. You can keep the tank behind the machine, to its right or left.

It has a motorized head. Lights press on the head after you place your capsule and it will automatically lower and close.

There’s a single button on the machine, no need to choose your type of capsule (espresso or coffee) as the machine will automatically detect the capsule you inserted and adjust accordingly.

Which One Should You Buy?

You’re definitely better off buying the Nespresso Evoluo. You get everything the VertuoLine has to offer, but with the first VertuoLine, there was a lot of complaints that the coffee wasn’t hot enough, and the Evoluo fixes that.

If you’d like to make milk based coffee drinks like Cappuccio or Latte, we highly recommend that you bundle up your machine with the Aeroccino milk frother.
